anaerobic bioremediation Articles

The use of enhanced anaerobic bioremediation for treatment of chlorinated solvents in groundwater has increased at a rapid rate within the past three years. Since there are a number of different hydrogen donors that can potentially be used, it is important that practitioners understand the cost implications of the hydrogen donor(s) selected for the project. A comparative economic analysis is ...

ABSTRACT: Injection of edible oils into the subsurface can provide an effective, low-cost alternative for stimulating anaerobic bioremediation processes. However, concerns have been raised about the effects of oil buoyancy and variations in aquifer permeability on the final distribution of oil in the subsurface. Three dimensional sandbox experiments were conducted to study the distribution of ...

A successful anaerobic bioaugmentation was carried out on a trichloroethene (TCE)-contaminated aquifer at Dover Air Force Base, DE, using a microbial enrichment culture capable of dechlorinating TCE to ethene. A hydraulically controlled pilot system 12   18 m was constructed 15 m below ground surface in an alluvial aquifer to introduce nutrients and substrate into the groundwater. ...

Site Summary A contaminant plume emanating from two waste disposal pits containing Freon 11 and Freon 113 was discovered at a former drug lab near Los Osos, California. In August 2002, Freon 11 and Freon 113 were detected in well MW-6 at maximum concentrations of 6,900 mg/L and 6,000 ?mg/L respectively. The initial remedial approach (during May 2002) was to excavate 100 cubic yards of ...

CGRS Environmental Services and RPI Group Approved Installer, Vista Geoscience, were a bit surprised at what happened recently at a Denver hydrocarbon site they were remediating with Trap & Treat® BOS 200® injections. In late 2011, PCE contamination was also discovered (most likely coming from an upgradient dry cleaner). The client stated “The data shows that the BOS 200® ...

When injecting into multiple wells simultaneously, stagnation zones can develop preventing effective reagent delivery. Figure 1 shows the simulated EOS Pro distribution in a homogeneous aquifer when EOS Pro is injected into all the wells in a biobarrier at the same time. Simultaneous injection creates gaps in the biobarrier where converging streamlines prevent effective ...

ABSTRACT This paper presents a comparative study of aerobic and anaerobic bioremediation of cis-1,2-dichloroethene (DCE) and vinyl chloride (VC). The study includes laboratory bench scale testing of anaerobic biodegradation followed by a side by side field pilot test comparing the effectiveness of aerobic and anaerobic biodegradation processes. Prior to initiating the pilot test, DCE and VC ...

3-D Microemulsion (3DMe)™, a form of HRC Advanced®, is the current state-of-the-art in slow-release electron donor products for the in-situ treatment of chlorinated solvents in groundwater. By employing a sequential, staged release of hydrogen, 3DMe provides an immediate and long-term release of hydrogen for enhanced longevity. Equally as important is the compound’s unique self-distribution ...

Batch incubation and flow-through column experiments were conducted to evaluate the use of emulsified soybean oil for in situ treatment of acid mine drainage. Addition of soybean oil, soluble substrates, and a microbial inoculum to the batch incubations resulted in complete depletion of SO4, 50% reduction in Fe, and an increase in pH to >6. A one time injection of emulsified soybean oil, lactate, ...
